Jamila Naomi
Jamila Naomi
Naomi's mother gave her over to the care of her aunt who was unable to care for her. Her father was mentally ill and also unable to care for her. Her aunt contacted social services for aid, wanting to offer Naomi a brighter future, and social services then contacted Rafiki foundation. She was welcomed by the Rafiki Village Uganda family in 2008. Naomi's favorite subject is science because she understands that God has created her for a purpose and that her body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. Naomi also enjoys science because she hopes to become a surgeon in the future. She is receiving help in social studies and Luganda. Learning Luganda side by side with English helps Naomi know that ever language has been given by God for individuals to communicate with one another. This year, she has started to study Rafiki history and logic; she enjoys learning about both!
